TheToyota RZ engine family is astraight-fourpiston engine series built in Japan. The RZ series uses a cast-iron engine block and aluminumSOHC orDOHCcylinder heads. It haselectronic fuel injection (EFI), 2 or4 valves per cylinder and featuresforged steelconnecting rods.
The1RZ is a 2.0 L (1,998 cc) version built from 1989. Bore and stroke is 86 mm × 86 mm (3.39 in × 3.39 in). The original carburetted model in Japanese trim produces 100 PS (74 kW; 99 hp) at 5,400 rpm and maximum torque of 162 N⋅m (119 lb⋅ft) at 2,400 prm.
Applications:
The1RZ-E is the fuel-injected version of the 1RZ. With a compression ratio of 9.0:1 and in Japanese trim, output is 110 PS (81 kW; 108 hp) at 5,200 rpm and maximum torque of 167 N⋅m (123 lb⋅ft) at 2,600 prm. With redline at 5,500 rpm.
Applications:
The2RZ is a 2.4 L (2,438 cc) version. Bore and stroke is 95 mm × 86 mm (3.74 in × 3.39 in); a variety of combination of heads and fuel delivery systems were available.
This is an SOHC engine with two valves per cylinder. Valve adjustment is by shim over bucket. Output is 120 PS (88 kW; 118 hp) at 4800 rpm with 146 lb⋅ft (198N⋅m) of torque at 2600 rpm. It does not havebalance shafts and is known for vibrations.[1] Originally manufactured with a carburetor induction system, it was later upgraded to Electronic Fuel Injection, with the -E suffix added to the engine designation. Toyota specified unleaded fuel with a rating of at least 91RON in Australia.
Applications:
The2RZ-FE, and4RB1 or4RB2 in China, is a 2.4 L (2,438 cc) version. Bore and stroke is 95 mm × 86 mm (3.74 in × 3.39 in). Compression ratio is 9.5:1. Output is 142 hp (106 kW; 144 PS) at 5000 rpm with 160 lb⋅ft (217 N⋅m) of torque at 4000 rpm. This engine does not feature balance shafts. It has four valves per cylinder and DOHC. Valve adjustment is by shim over bucket. The 2RZ-FE is aninterference engine with a timing chain.[2][3] A 2.2 L (2,185 cc) version called the4RB3 is also manufactured in China which has a bore and stroke of 91 mm × 84 mm (3.58 in × 3.31 in), while sharing the 2RZ's 102.5 mm (4.04 in) bore spacing.[citation needed] According to a review in 2023, there are reports of the engine typically lasting over 250,000-300,000 miles and less frequently 500,000 miles.[2]
Applications:
The3RZ-FE is a 2.7 L (2,693 cc) version. Bore and stroke is 95 mm × 95 mm (3.74 in × 3.74 in). Compression ratio is 9.5:1. Output is 150 hp (112 kW; 152 PS) at 4800 rpm with 177 lb⋅ft (240 N⋅m) of torque at 4000 rpm. This engine features twin, chain-drivenbalance shafts. It has four valves per cylinder and DOHC. Valve adjustment is by shim over bucket. The 3RZ-FE is an interference engine with a timing chain reported to last 150,000 miles.[4] The cylinder head is composed of aluminum alloy and the intake manifold is made from aluminum.[5]
